Sun questions for Geneva

How high does the sun get in Geneva?

At 46.2° N, the noon sun reaches 67.2° above the horizon at the June solstice but only 20.4° at the December solstice. It is never directly overhead this far from the equator.

How long is twilight in Geneva?

Civil twilight — from first light until sunrise, when you can still see outdoors without lights — lasts about 30 minutes around the equinoxes and 39 minutes at midsummer in Geneva. The farther from the equator, the shallower the sun's path and the longer twilight lasts.

When is the earliest sunrise and latest sunset in Geneva?

The earliest sunrise is at 05:44 around 12 June and the latest sunset at 21:32 around 22 June. They don't fall on the solstice itself because solar noon drifts by up to a quarter of an hour through the year (the equation of time).

How fast do the days get longer or shorter in Geneva?

Fastest around the equinoxes: on 19 March the day is 3m 18s longer than the day before. Around the solstices the change slows to a few seconds a day.
